What if..? // Sugawara X Reader

#10 - Challenge (pt. II)

Finally, the match had begun. My heart was beating so fast I hardly could breathe, but what was going to happen next would have literally caused me to wish to disappear in the most desperate way possible.
Yes because, as a start, after a few minutes the first set had begun somebody sat next to me and hissed abruptly in my ear: "I won't let you have Sugawara, bitch. If you just try to approach him, I'll make you regret it!". I didn't say anything and just shoot a glance at Kiriya Hitomi, who then sat somewhere further in another bleacher, next to Kiyoko.

I returned watching the match. Aobajosai was in advantage for 12-9. I couldn't help but think my brother was feeling frustrated and anxious because he was playing against Oikawa, his all time rival. He wasn't calm as usual. Ukai-san noticed it too and called a timeout. Meanwhile, I stared at Suga-senpai sitting on the Karasuno bench. He was worried but  looked at me in return with a sheepish smile.
At the end of the time out, I saw Oikawa say something to Tobio through the net. So now, if before the timeout my brother wasn't calm, he was COMPLETEY ENRAGED.

Oh, my gosh...

I knew exactly what was going on and I knew it for sure because of Toru's diabolical smile and Tobio's look on his face. He was furious and rage completely altered his features. His eyes were looking for me and when they found me, he fixed them on my face in pure anger.

After a little time, Seijo was about to win the set. The score was an awful 20-13 but still my brother kept increasing the speed of his tosses, causing the Karasuno spikers to be less powerful and to lose energy. On the set point for Seijo, Tobio set a pipe for Asahi, but he jumped too late so Aobajosai blocked it easily and won the set for 25-16. A complete disaster. The worst thing was that Asahi had fallen on the ground and was grabbing his ankle. Worry spread across every Karasuno player and all the students sitting on the bleachers were chattering about the King of the Court. Oikawa and his team were screaming in victory.

Ukai-san didn't have any wing spikers to substitute Asahi that day, my brother was completely enraged, Tsukishima kept blaming on him because he was too fast and Suga-senpai was approaching... nobody seemed to know what to do.
"[Name]-chan, Ukai-san wants to have a talk with you" he told me softly. My heart skipped a beat.

WHY ME NOW? I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS DISASTER... THIS IS THE BOYS' MATCH!
"Okay, then..." I managed to say in surprise.

"WHAT?! You want me to replace Azumane-san?! But... I-I'm a girl!" I stammered.
"Yes, we noticed that before you told us" Ukai-san answered me ironically "I've just asked the referee if we can do this".
The referee came to us after a while and said "Well, we can do this just for this time, since it's not an official match. As long as the teams want to keep playing, there's nothing else we can do".
My hands were fidgeting and I couldn't help but feel anxious, but in the end I decided to replace Asahi. I just couldn't imagine how to play with my brother as a setter, since he was so angry with me. I felt Oikawa's piercing stare on me.
I went to the locker room and wore my volleyball uniform. When I came out on the court, there was a strange, gloomy silence throughout the gym. Then I began to feel people whispering in disappointment, probably wondering why a girl was to replace the ace in a boy team. My heart skipped a beat when I approached the bench and my brother glanced at me with fierce eyes.

"T-Tobio-kun..." I tried to speak to him, but he hissed at me.
"HOW COULD YOU BE HIS GIRLFRIEND?!" he shout loud, pointing at a distant, giggling Oikawa. People started chattering again.
"N-no, this is just a misunderstanding... listen, I admit I have been, but now... I can explain..."
"BUT NOW WHAT?! PLEASE SHUT UP, OKAY? NO TIME FOR EXPLANATIONS NOW" he just cut me off like that. Then he told Ukai-san: "I don't wanna play with her. I can't do this NOW". His words upset me and I began feeling a weight on my chest.
The answer my brother received then was a shock to him: "Who said you're gonna play, Kageyama?". My brother's face was pale with anger, his eyes grew narrow and he screamed: "And who is going to play?".
"Kageyama, calm down, please. Remember we have TWO setters".
